Followed https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade to go from a freshly
updated Athlon XP 2000+ (1667MHz) i386 F25 to F26. At start it reported 181 to
install, 985 to upgrade, 6 to downgrade.
1-I started the $SUBJECT process then went to bed. On arising in the AM, the
machine was locked up. I reset booted into the host's F24 installation and
examined F26's /var/log/dnf.rpm.log, finding nothing to make me suspect the
process was incomplete. Log shows process took about 66 minutes.
2-/var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade/ content booted to F26 still consumes 240743
blocks on a 1024 blocksize / filesystem of 4.8GB even after 'dnf clean all'.
Source F25 partition cloned from for the upgrade stands at 77% in use, while F26
is 79%. Is it safe to now remove the entire content of that directory manually?
3-Process could not have been performed without having first mounted an extra
filesystem to /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade/ to prevent / from filling up with
rpms. After completing the process via F24 boot of so configuring the target,
then doing the update, I reversed the process from F24 boot, copying the content
of the separate filesystem into the vacated mount location.
4-Process claimed to have installed 4.11.0rc kernel. /lib/modules/ had a
directory for this kernel, but /boot/ contained nothing matching.
/etc/fedora-release shows 26, but fedora-* packages for both 25 and 26 were
installed, and dnf repolist all showed only 25 until I dnf removed the 25s.
Running dnf reinstall kernel-PAE-core populated /boot/ normally. / space in use
after removing oldest installed kernel, dnf clean all, dnf makecache, went to 80%.
